RMS Queen Mary: Historic Ocean Liner Now a Premier Luxury Floating Hotel in Long Beach
Permanently docked in Long Beach Harbor, Southern California, the RMS Queen Mary is far more than a hotel—it's a meticulously preserved maritime icon offering guests an immersive dive into nautical history.
Launched as a luxury ocean liner in 1936, the Queen Mary hosted luminaries like Bob Hope, Clark Gable, Winston Churchill, and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. In 1939, amid World War II, she was converted in New York into the world's largest and fastest troopship. Restored postwar, she resumed transatlantic service until her final voyage in 1967. Today, she stands as a renowned hotel, tourist attraction, and event venue in Long Beach.
Boarding the Queen Mary feels like traveling back in time. Her 346 original staterooms and nine suites each feature distinctive Art Deco designs, vintage built-ins, and authentic artwork.
Meticulously restored original details—like portholes, Art Deco motifs, and polished wood paneling—evoke the golden age of transatlantic travel throughout this floating landmark.
Four exceptional dining venues grace the ship. Sir Winston’s Restaurant delivers refined cuisine with stunning Long Beach Harbor views. Savor fresh seafood and signature happy hour at Chelsea Chowder House & Bar, or enjoy breakfast and dinner at Promenade Cafe.
Raise a glass to elegance at the Observation Bar and Art Deco Lounge, where 1930s sophistication thrives alongside panoramic vistas and live music every Saturday night.
Entertainment abounds with daily guided tours, including spine-tingling encounters with the ship's famed ghosts that reportedly haunt its corridors.
Discover captivating onboard exhibits honoring Winston Churchill, Princess Diana, and the Titanic, plus an intricate LEGO model of the Queen Mary herself.
The latest thrill is the 4-D Theater, a 121-seat venue merging 3D visuals, motion seats, and sensory effects. Featured films include “Planet Earth,” “The Queen Mary Story,” and “SpongeBob SquarePants 4-D: The Great Jelly Rescue.”
Host unforgettable events from beer tastings to festivals like the ScotsFestival & International Highland Games, or the festive CHILL winter wonderland with snow, sledding, and ice skating.
